OK, we finally gave in and decided to upgrade into a much large camper! We've been looking at few recently and decided on his one.
1999 Viking 2465. It's got a slide out dinette, potty/shower combo, AC, heat, electric brakes and a power lift! No more lifting the roof over my head to setup 🙂
I don't have any pictures of it open yet but here are a few from on the way home and one next to my '82 Viking in the garage. ( didn't realize how small our old one is until I parked them side by side)

Congratulations and lots of happiness, Chris & Michelle! This is a really nice PUP and I know you will have many years of camping fun with it. We're very excited for you guys!

Looks like there's going to be a big camper tour this coming spring at the Southeastern Spring Rally!

Thanks! It came pretty much ready to camp. Pots, pans and silverware. 25? Gallon thetford  gray water tote ( the big one) lights,cords, hoses and drawers full of stuff. Gotta sort through both campers and decide what we need. No more tubs full of stuff to carry. When packed, every inch if floor space was covered with tubs, bags etc. will be nice to have drawers and cabinets to put stuff in. Also don't have to pack the awning, poles, chains, stakes, stabilizer jacks in tubs inside anymore 🙂

Your new one definitely looks huge sitting next to the old one. 

Congrats!  I hope this new one gives you many years of good memories!

Now to decide what to do with the other one. My bro in law wants it but sister doesn't hence the " don't tell anyone" so I don't have hear it :). Not a big deal but don't want to tow it back to Florida either so we'll have it awhile until I decide what to do.

Congrats. it looks very well taken care of. We had a 99 2460st viking and loved it. We moved on to a HTT but the memories, of our many outings, in the viking pup will live forever in my heart.

Oh my goodness-that is nice. I just want to go out and shout it to the world!! Awwww, but I cant, you said to not tell anyone. ;D

Seriously I just love those Jeep/PUP combos. Especially BLUE Jeeps. Though I dont know why.
